I was searching for a friend for Penny and I came across a Shihtzu puppy that was looking for a new home. I adopted her and she's adorable.. BUT she's being a very bad influence on Penny. Jenna (my lil Shihtzu) is supposed to be potty trained and the previous owner told me that she had a little corner in her apartment and that she'd always pee and poop there. She told me that when Jenna is introduced to new environments, she will take a while to get used to a new spot.

I moved the pee pee pad from the kitchen (the original spot) to the bathroom, and Penny has been catching on and so has Jenna! But sometimes, I catch them BOTH peeing in the middle of my studio apartment.. and go on poop rampages eVERY morning. I've been pulling out my hair.. and I've been doing all I could to teach them.. But I'm not sure if my approach is right or not. I catch them, scold them, and put them on the pad. ;[

And I can't put Jenna on the couch/bed because she'll just pee on it but if Penny, mommy, and daddy are all on the couch, she starts scratching and crying.

HEARTBREAKING!!!!!!!!!!! HELP ME!!!
